Chapter 9: Cooking and listening

(Lucy's P.O.V) This is happening while Sans and Lucas walks around Snowdin.

After me and Papyrus started to walk back to the house, I turned my head around and saw that big bro and Sans was walking the other way, Lucas going a bit behind him. I still wonder what had happened to make Sans so mad at him. I just hope that big bro will be okay when he talks to Sans. I am a bit worried that something will happen to him when talking to Sans, so I looked down at the ground sadly. Please be okay big bro, I thought to myself as I looked back up at Papyrus and saw that he was smiling brightly as he kept carrying the bags to the house. I smiled a bit, since I wanted to help him with the cooking. Plus, then I could learn more about him, since I felt sorry for him for not getting those puzzles ready. We kept walking towards the house, the other houses seemed to be empty, even though there wasn't that many of them around. Just the building that we were just in, and some other small ones, other than that, it wasn't many. This whole place wasn't that big, since it wasn't that many buildings here, then again, I shouldn't expect more from a small town down in the underground. Thought it was really nice down here, even for the small things that they had. I smiled and looked back at Papyrus, who had stopped in front of a house right by the end of the town.

"WE ARE HERE LITTLE HUMAN! TIME TO SEE OUR HOUSE!" Papyrus said as he laughed and opened the door, stepping inside the house. I quickly looked back at where we were just walking, and saw that both Sans and Lucas was out of sight. Huh? W-where did they go? I thought to myself as I looked back at the house and walked inside and looked around. It was a pretty decent sized house, which actually looked smaller from the outside than it actually was. Just from entering the house I could see a TV standing on a bench, a green couch placed by the wall, a table with some plates of spaghetti on it and their kitchen. I looked around and saw that it was also a staircase which lead upwards to their second floor which was clearly visible from where I was standing, it seemed the second floor was right above the kitchen, so I could see two doors, one at the left and one at the right. I guess that's their rooms. Papyrus smiled as he walked over to the kitchen and sat the bag down on the desk.

"READY FOR MAKING SPAGHETTI WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS HUMAN?!" He asked me as he pulled out a whole box of uncooked spaghetti and a small box of cold meat. I smiled and nodded happily as I walked up to him and rested my hands on the desk. He smiled back at me and placed a bowl and a frying pan right in front of me. "THAT'S GREAT HUMAN! YOU MAKE THE MEAT! I'LL MAKE THE SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI!" He grabbed the bowl and threw the uncooked spaghetti straight in it with full force, braking most of them in half. He sure isn't gentle with food… I thought to myself as I turned on the stove, put the meat straight on it and placed it on the top of the stove, starting to fry the meat. Just doing this felt like a good time, since it was so much different than it was at home. Normally me and Lucas had to make food for ourselves, or too our parents as well, if they had to get home later. It would normally be him making the food, because he was the oldest one of us two, but I would help him out when I could, even though he didn't want to help.

"O-okay papyrus, let's make some food!" I said as I kept frying the meat, watching how Papyrus just threw all the other ingredients in the bowl, the food just going all over the desk. "P-pap? Why are you being so rough?" He just looked at me and looked confused

"WHAT?! THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE EXCELLENT FOOD!" Papyrus said as he started to cook it all together, making the sauce. I shrugged and just turned the meat around, grabbing a small plate that was putted beside me. "ISN'T THIS HOW HUMANS MAKES THE BEAUTIFUL ART THAT IS SPAGHETTI?!" I widened my eyes and nodded.

"Of course it is pap! But some of human are just taking it easy sometimes, just was wondering that's all." I said to him with a smile, not wanting to be mean to him. "So it was just something new to me" "AHH, THAT'S OKAY HUMAN! THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME!" He walked up to me, placed the bowl full of the uncooked spaghetti down on one of the stove plates, filled it with water and started to suddenly sing a melody. I listened closed and figured out that it was his theme song that he was singing to. Just standing there, cooking food and listening to his voice made things feel like it was just my brother and me. I felt closeness, friendship and kindness from them all. M-maybe we can give them their happy ending now…wait…. I finished the meat, turned off my stove plate and placed it beside it.

"Hey pap? What did Sans want to say to my brother?" I asked him as I decided to open the cupboard just above my shoulder and pulled out more plates so we could put the food on them. Lucky the table was pretty much just outside the kitchen, so I walked over to it and placed the plates down on the table.

"WELL…HE DIDN'T REALLY SAY WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY. SOMETHING ABOUT PROMISES I THINK IT WAS!" He said to me as he came up beside me and placed the glasses down and walked back to the kitchen. I widened my eyes and quickly looked out the window and felt a tear fall down my cheek. Promises…big bro…what have you done now? I sighed and sat down on the couch beside the dinner table.

"Pap? Do you think I can rest for a bit…just a few minutes? My head doesn't feel well" I asked him as I looked towards the kitchen, hoping for an answer. He came back to the table, his silly smile plastered on his face. "OF COURSE NICE HUMAN! TAKE A SHORT NAP, JUST DON'T BE LIKE MY BROTHER AND SLEEP FOR LONGER, THAT LAZYBONE" I laughed quietly and laid down on the couch. "Thank you friend, see you soon" I closed my eyes and let my body rest on the couch.

I opened my eyes slowly again and saw papyrus putting a bowl full of cooked spaghetti, mean and sauce on the table and looked in my direction, smiling at me. I smiled back and sat up, yawning quietly. I looked at the clock just hanging on the wall and saw that I didn't even sleep for 30 minutes. Guess I wasn't that tired then. I stood up and walked over to him, not seeing Sans or Lucas here. I looked around the room worried, but I couldn't see them.

"Umm…papyrus, aren't my brother and Sans supposed to be back now?" I asked him as I went to the window and tried to look for them again, still not seeing them. It had been almost an hour by this time around, which makes me worry more.

"HMM, I DON'T KNOW LITTLE HUMAN! THAT LAZYBONE BETTER NOT BE RESTING NOW!" He said as he put the food down and walked out the front door. I walked up to him and walked with him. He kept walking towards Grillby's and I looked to the side, trying to find them myself. And what caught my eye surprised me. In the distance I could see Sans and Lucas walking, putting more distance between them and us. I smiled brightly and carefully pulled papyrus' scarf. He turned towards me and tilted his head in confusion. I just turned around and pointed at where I saw them and started to walk towards them. We both walked slower to them and I could see Sans stopping by the river. I quickly grabbed papyrus' arm and dragged us both behind some trees.

"Papyrus…p-please be quiet for this…i…w-want to hear what he says." I whispered to him, hoping he would be quiet. He looked at me with curiosity and nodded slowly, staying quiet. That actually surprised me, since he always was so loud in his voice, it was really nice to see that he could be quiet for me. "T-thank you…" He smiled back at me and turned toward Sans and my brother, with a worried look. I turned back to them as well and saw now that Sans' eye sockets were completely gone and bones was starting to form up behind him. I could see my brother take a step back and I could see his face, but he didn't look that scared, but worried and shocked. Why is he that? Wait, is this because of what we promised before we got here? He just stood there and kept walking backwards. I was sure he could manage to walk away, but as soon as he took another step back, a wall of white bones appeared behind him, blocking his path.

"What are you talking about sans?! I didn't break my promise! Look at me! Do you see any dus- "He said but cut himself up when he was about to mention the word dust. And I could understand it right away, because I could remember that he told me what happens to monsters when they die, when he played the game for the first time.

"So you say that kiddo…but your LV says something else" Sans said and I could see a bar suddenly light above sans, and I covered my mouth in shock, not trying to say anything. Right above him was a bar showing his HP, LV and name, and that surprised me.

LUCAS LV 5 25/30 HP

"Sans! I didn't hurt anyone here in the underground! I swear! Lucas said and I could see that his hands was shaking, and his lips was whispering something else, but it didn't seem to be directed towards Sans, but someone else. However, there wasn't anyone else around here. I tilted my head in confusion and looked around, but i couldn't see anyone anywhere. Who is he talking too?

"So care to explain that then kid?" Sans said as he sent some white bones towards him, aiming straight towards him. Lucas tried to move away, but one hit him in the shoulder, and i saw that the bone went right through him, but his HP just went down fast. He ended up with an HP on 17/30. I widened my eyes again, seeing how quick he lost health. I wanted to scream and help, but fear held me back. I wanted to help, i just didn't know how to do it.

"T-that hurt...S-Sans, i didn't kill or hurt a monster here. If i got the LV, then it must have been..."He said as he closed his eyes and sat down, crossing his legs. What is he doing?! Big bro! You can get hurt! He sighed and looked up towards Sans. "Then it must have been from the surface...i...killed someone there, to protect my sister from harm." I felt tears fall down my eyes, knowing he was in trouble for protecting me, but i just couldn't remember when he did that, or why he did it.

"And why is that Kiddo? Why kill them?" Sans said as he lowered his hand and his white pupil appearing in his eyesockets again. He sat down as well, but the bones that was behind Lucas didn't dissapear. Big bro sighed again and looked up from the ground, and i could see tears forming up in his eyes.

"Because...someone was hurting her real bad...and i had to stop them from...y-yeah" He said as he put his hands on the snow and leaned on his hands. "I-it...w-will better if i told you the whole story Sans, hopefully you can understand that i didn't mean for it to happen." Sans nodded and i saw him ready to listen. So was i, because i couldn't remember anything hurting me that bad beside out parents, but they were still fine and they didn't hurt me that bad. Both me and Papyrus sat down on the snow and listened to Lucas telling the story. "It all happened...four years ago..."

And that's where i leave this chapter, on a cliffhanger. Hehehe...please don't be mad.

I'm really sorry for not publishing the chapter when it was supposed too, but we have started with exams and huge group projects now, so i haven't had the time to write the chapter. It's still some exams left, so i will try my best to make a new chapter for you guys to the end of this week, but if i can't, i will try my best to go back to normal publishing dates after next week. Again, sorry for those of you who waited for a chapter, here it is, hope you like it.

Dark Chara out!
